Trump - just not fringe or funny anymore !?!

Talking of hunting, it seems that Donald Trump junior is a keen huntsman and there are some delightful photos that he ash posted on facebook of him holding the tail that he has just cut off an elephant that he shot, and another of him holding some kind of big cat, also dead. Lovely family.

God help the world if America does elect Trump , and Palin as vice

If the US wants to be nothing but a worldwide joke, they will elect Trump. Surely sanity will prevail.

Wonder if her favourite pass time is still shooting Mooses - what is plural for moose or perhaps it's just moose

Her voice is like finger nails on a blackboard.

Just cannot think of it, she is barking

She was always a bit of a joke but that screeching was unbelievable! I wonder if she was on something

Can you imagine President Trump & Vice-President Palin ]

Good grief the lunatics have taken over the asylum, the thought of that ghastly woman's voice screeching out again makes me shudder , the tea party lot love her

Sarah Palin is now backing Trump. Who is Sarah Palin now? Does she matter any more?

Hopefully it will not matter, wondergran; Hilary will beat them both. The US has already done the unthinkable and elected Obama twice. Perhaps it's time for a woman.

Elections are extremely long drawn out theatrical events in the U.S. No doubt the dear mister Trump is providing some light entertainment to distract everyone from the real events going on in the world at the moment. It is very unlikely that he will get anywhere once the real voting starts. I have it on very good authority that Ted Cruz is far, far more extreme than Trump and he could well quietly slip into a position of great power whilst everyone keeps focusing on the ridiculous Donald Trump. Interesting times.

Unfortunately.

It is often said the good die young , he will see 100

It has been pointed out that David Bowie and Alan Rickman have both died at 69 and Trump is also 69. Fingers crossed?

Looks like Corbyn has invited Trump to visit a mosque in London... www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-18/uk-opposition-leader-invites-trump-to-visit-london-mosque/7094208

Trump trying blackmail. Wouldn't expect anything less.

Trump is to be discussed in Parliament.
They are also discussing the petition to allow him in, which only got 40,000 votes.

Are you asking that question re 'pretty mindless student comments' about your post ?

Or making yet another term of reference to David Cameron to continue your personal view?

Very difficult to decide when two posts that follow each other make a statement but then begs a question .

Or was that a pretty mindless studentish comment?

"We reject any attempts to create division and marginalisation amongst those we endeavour to protect."

That's what I find hypocritical.
They want to create all the division and marginalisation themselves.

In his case, general ridicule is a better weapon than heavy-handed bureaucracy. They are saying "Yes we know this man is a tit, but we are not going to give him the publicity of banning him."

I don't find it remotely hypocritical. It strikes me as a well-judged response to a difficult situation engendered by a clown running for the US Presidency and a pretty mindless petition on a level with students wanting to ban Germaine Greer.

Think they mean any Muslim making verbal attacks on non Muslims will not be allowed into this country but any white, non Muslim making verbal attacks on Muslims are allowed in this country

Government response to the petition.

"For good reasons the Government does not routinely comment on individual immigration and exclusion decisions.

The Home Secretary may exclude a non-European Economic Area national from the UK if she considers their presence in the UK to be non-conducive to the public good.

The Home Secretary has said that coming to the UK is a privilege and not a right and she will continue to use the powers available to prevent from entering the UK those who seek to harm our society and who do not share our basic values.

Exclusion powers are very serious and are not used lightly. The Home Secretary will use these powers when justified and based on all available evidence.

The Prime Minister has made clear that he completely disagrees with Donald Trump’s remarks. The Home Secretary has said that Donald Trump’s remarks in relation to Muslims are divisive, unhelpful and wrong.

The Government recognises the strength of feeling against the remarks and will continue to speak out against comments which have the potential to divide our communities, regardless of who makes them. We reject any attempts to create division and marginalisation amongst those we endeavour to protect."

Anyone else find it as hypocritical as I do?
Maybe they do not mean they are endeavouring to protect all in the UK.

Anyone see Question Time tonight? Trump has friends who say do not underestimate him. They also said that if we ban him, more will vote for him. Jacob Rees-Mogg and Piers Morgan both said that.
